I'm pretty sure that bantha are not fast enough, which is why they were not included. Bantha were used for moving goods (like oxen) where animals like dewback were used for quick transport (like a horse).

Yeah, Bols are bio-engineer'able, but from what I understand they're bugged and untamable, useful only as housepets.

...big, ugly, smelly housepets.

Yeah! Get ready to be ridden all over town ChickenLittle my little Kaadu friend.

When should I expect to be able to ride a Wookie?

Great news. Thanks for the update, oh and as the other person posted will the riding gear be craftable......

This is great it really is - Mounts Ive been looking forward to them as a creature handler for so long...but.....

I feel this a bit premature. Have the devs not been litening? And all of you that are pleased do you jump ship everyother day on what you want?

Weve been screaming to fix the bugs and the classes...can we focus on that PLEASE!?! No one wants to see more content when its inevitable that it wil have more bugs to add to the game and distract the devs again from the important fixes that negate game play.

Most of the professions are still broken and need serious attention. Sure ur might save some people who were going to leave by pushign this out this soon but, your going to loose more people who are tired of waiting to have their professions fixed, then if you waited to push the mounts later and put out a huge patch for professions. People will wait for content longer then they will wait for game play stopping bug fixes.

Sorry to be the voice of reason but I think that any new content needs to take a back seat to forward progress with the game core mechanics in professions / combat systems / crafting systems / economy all of which are already there and in dire need of fixing.

Hey Q...

I'm sure that this is just going to get lost in the noise (I sent a PM, but I'm sure that you get too many of those) ... the link to the Player Mounts story from the main page is linking to a URL that looks like it's an internal staging server. The link reads http://starwarsgalaxies-stage.station.sony.com/player_mounts.jsp ... and I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error when I try to use it. Looks like the -stage needs to be removed. The link within your post works fine.

"Everyone IS reading what he said, right?

"The final list for this FIRST release of mount..."

Be patient, bantha fans"

Unacceptable. This is a Star Wars game. We should see the STAR WARS animals we know and love FIRST. Then add the others. Who here would be crying if they didnt add a Carion Spat instead of the bantha.

Devs!! /mindboggle

this is bs i need a bantha more than i need anything and now they've screwed me over again i need my bantha damnit

I think in your hysteria about missing Banthas, you missed the statement "for the first release of mounts" - this means there are more mounts coming.

ROTFLMAO!

I'm not usually one to complain and I acknowledge that it's cool we're getting mounts, but it looks to me like we're only really getting 3 of them.

I mean, it's quite obvious that the bol and dewback are the same skeletons on different scaleswith different skins as are the carion spat/kaadu and falumpaset/brackaset.

Rather than give us "6" mounts that are really 3, I'd rather have seen you put in Cu Pas and Banthas and only given us 5 mounts. Yeah, I'm sure it was easier to code for these 6 as they all use the same 3D skeleton and move similarly, but this looks like taking the easy way out.

Please tell me you'll be adding more diversemounts in the future.

Q-3PO, I feel kindda sorry for you. Some of you people are simple spoiled brats, instead of telling him you look forward to it you find another subject to whine about. I can't wait for this and understand choices had to be made.

I really look forward to riding my mount, whatever creature it will be.
